Running HF and System Variables

Goog Morning, reading the Structured Application Developer's Guide I don't understand how can I use Running Header variables.
I would like to insert a page counter in a Frame, something like
<$elemparanum[CardTitle]>/<$lastpagenum> where the CardTitle element is in another frame. I don't understand if I have to create an element or I have to define only the variable. I've tried to insert the variable but it doesn't work.

Master pages contain two types of text frames. Usually there is a text frame that holds the main content of the document. In the Object Properties of this text frame, the Tag is usually set to A and the autoconnect box is checked.
The other type of text frame holds the running headers and footers. Its Tag is blank and the autoconnect box is NOT checked.
Maybe you have the variable in the wrong text frame.

Siginificance of the user and system variables

What is the significance of user variable and system variable in
windows 2000 environment?
Because I usually set user variable(classpath and path) and system
variable(classpath,path and javahome) after installing j2sdk and
weblogic. But I find out one of my friend just set the user variable and
running the same. I like to know that what the system doing with user variable and
system variable? In system view, what is the difference between the user var
and system var?

Not sure what this has to do with Java, but: The system variables apply to all users. The user variables apply to only the user that set them. Sign on as a different user and see what happens.

Printer runs slow and system activity jumps.

In the past week or so, my printer has gotten very slow. This seems isolated to one account. Also, after using the computer for various tasks for a while, the "% System" in the Activity Monitor jumps from about 1-2 % to 12%, and stays there indefinitely. When that happens, everything slows way down. The only way to recover is to Restart.
I have run Repair Permissions -- no change.
All software is current.
I have 585 GB free space on disc.
I have 4 GB memory, and always plenty of it free -- even when running slow.

Check the video card manufacturer web site for the latest stable driver, ensure the latest suitable directx software is installed.
Try some other java applet.

Running header and text variable help!

I am trying to add a running header to a book I am creating but I cannot get the running header to work. I have read on the Adobe help pages and other sites online but still can't figure it out. I really just need a step by step on how to get this to work. I don't want to have to go through and edit the week number manually, but at this point I am getting frustrated. (Running CS5)
The header is "Week X". (The week number changes every 5 pages.)
This is what the running header should look like:
This is what I get when I try: (Blank!)
One time I got the "Week 1" to appear but it was in the large text style, not the smaller size. I forget what I did to get that, so now all I can make happen is the blank text field.
What am I doing wrong?

I haven't read the tutorial Prashant has mentioned twice, but it will probably help you. As he says, variables are basically pretty simple, though running head types are perhaps a bit more complex than some others.
Basically, a variable is a marker, in the same way that an automatic page number is a marker, but in the case of the running head variables ID looks for text that matches a particular style (your choice, when you define the variable, of Paragraph Style or Character Style, and also whether it is the first instance or the last instance of that style on the page (again part of the definition) and ignores other matches that might also be present on your page. If no matching text is present on a particular page, ID searches backwards in the document to find a match on a previous page (which is why having the matching text on only the first page of the section will work). Variables can pick up both visible and "invisible" or non-printing text which is handy if you need to have a match on a page, but don't want that text to appear in output except where it is displayed in the variable.
Does that help?
The advantage to using the variable here is that you can use the same master page (or two master pages or however many different masters are used in one complete section) for all of the sections instead of making separate masters with the new header or footer information for each section.

OAF and system variables

Hi all
Is there any way to find out what the APPL_TOP, JAVA_TOP and concurrent program log and out file directories are in OAF?
Thanks
Alex

$JAVA_TOP is $COMMON_TOP/java in 11i, and $COMMON_TOP/java/classes in R12. $COMMON_TOP is an environment variable, so that can built easily.
String javaTop11i = System.getProperty("COMMON_TOP") + "/java"
String javaTopR12 = System.getProperty("COMMON_TOP") + "/java/classes"
The concurrent program directories are a little more difficult. In APPL_TOP is the .env file for the system, which contains the directories. The out directory is $APPLCSF/$APPLOUT, and the log directory is $APPLCSF/$APPLLOG.
These are all defined in the .env file, and can be found by searching the file for APPLCSF=, APPLOUT= and APPLLOG=. As we already have the APPL_TOP, this is possible.
If anyone knows of a simpler way to get the out and log directories, that would be appreciated.

Open second form at run-time (and transfer variables)

Hi,
i'm searching for a method to open a second (maybe attached) form from an existing form at run-time.
The goal would be to have a button in a form which runs a function as click event that opens the second form and transfer field values from the existing form to the new opened form.
To new form should opened in a separate Adobe Reader window because the user should have the possibility to save or print the both forms separately.

Need more flexible system variables

Hi,
I looked through several discussions of variables but did not find what I was looking for. I wanted a page # variable for the front matter and then a page # of # for the rest of the manual.
Framemaker 7.0 defines 12 running H/F system variables plus a few others for page numbers but you are limited as to how you can edit them. For example, I was trying to make a variable that displayed current page only. None of the running H/F variables offers a building block called <$curpagenum>.
I have a system variable called Current Page # and I was able to edit it down to just the Page #. I also have two other variables called Page x of x and Page xxx of xxx but they act like user variables. Any editing of their building blocks screws them up. Plus I don't know where they came from, unless from the original installation.
Any suggestions?
Yours,
Michael F
=========

Typically, doing this is simple:
For the front matter, either put those pages in their own component file of a Book, or use custom Master Pages that are mapped by Apply Master Pages, triggered by paragraph formats unique to the front matter content.
The front matter MPs would have just system variable <$curpagenum> ("Current Page #") in a background text frame.
For the main body pages, use default Left/Right and/or custom MPs as needed, and put "Page "<$curpagenum>" of "<$lastpagenum>" ("Page Count") in the background text frames.
In neither case do you need to create a new variable. Just insert the plain text and system vars as needed.
Using book format simplifies the MP use, and also provides the capability to use different numbering schemes. For example, the front matter could be roman numeral starting with "i", and the body pages arabic starting with "1".

Extract Environment Variable from System Variables

Hi,
I want to define a custom environment variable manually and from my code I want to retrieve the value for that system variable which I have created.
Steps:
Manual Actions
1. Right Click "My Computer" >> Properties >> Advanced System Settings >> Advanced >> Environment Variables
Here I have 2 options. User Variables and System Variables.
In either of these I have to declare a variable - "Test Region" and its value as "Test1"
Now, when I run my c# program I have to get "Test1" as output when I provide "Test Region" as parameter.
Please provide me the code for this.

Dear Cheong,
It is working perfect now, when I restarted the PC.
But the problem is each time when I change the Value of the environment variable, I need to restart the PC to make it effective.
Is there any solution for this?
Your support is much appreciated.

Its time to have version and system information in signatures!

This has been brought up in the past but never instated or got past the start line..
The posts now cover even more versions (and system variables) and its time wasting chasing down the undisclosed information that is sometimes crucial to the issues.
No offense to the OP but here is but one recent example.
Why isn't it possible to ripple delete an in and out area of a track from the timeline while in the same in and out area…
The information would have been helpful in that case because it was half the issue. First half was easy.
Another example is Users looking for Mask Tools in FX because they see them in tutorials with out realising they are in newer versions from what they have.
Its just logic that an answer, discussion or a question is based on the most fundamental of information. It needs to be supplied somehow and obligatory.
Thoughts .....

I agree, but then there are users who dont update their signature.
Its in their interest to do so. At the moment no one has an opportunity to provide any info either way.
...and we will let them know that if they mislead us by being lazy.
The choice is also to ignore those that dont supply a sig with any info...and it might save some of the "Supply more info " type responses.

Why doesn't the inspection rate system variable work?

In the inspection I'm running, the %Yield system variable is displaying a value. The Inspection rate does not.

The inspection rate is only updated in inspection mode.

Get system variable and execute a Java Script

I'm not sure it is the appropriate forum to ask this
question. I'm using Captivate 2 without LMS.
I need to execute a java script that take read a system
variable (eg. USERNAME) and opens an URL using the USERNAMe as
parameter. The idea here is to update a database opening a specific
URL for a specific USERNAME.
Any one has an example to do something similar ?

Hello All,
Could anyone please help me with some examples or
tutorials how I can create Java Applet to run telnet
to UNIX and execute a shell script?
Presumably you don't need to write the telnet code yourself (like for a class.)
If so then you can use this...
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/net/
There might be some other dependencies from other commons stuff that you will need to resolve to run it.
Once you have that, presumably you are not telnetting back to the source of the applet. If so you will need to deal with security for the applet. Usually that means that you must sign the applet. Otherwise you will have to modify the policy file on each client machine that will run the applet.

Hi, I am having trouble MacBook Air crashing since Yosemite upgrade. I ran an Etresoft check but I don't know what it means... my system runs slowly and crashes. I have to force shutdown. Sometimes screen is black for a split second b/w webmail pages

Hello,
I am having trouble with my MacBook Air 13 inch June 2012 MacBook Air5, 2 4GB RAM details below in Etresoft report. I recently upgraded to Yosemite and am having system trouble. My computer crashes and I have to force quit to restart. When using webmail there is a black screen for a split second between pages. This did not happen before. I am worried that it is not running properly and perhaps I need to revert to the previous operating system. I only have a MacBook Air and no need to share images between a tablet or phone so I did not need the new photo sharing software of Yosemite. I wonder if I don't have enough RAM to run it? I did not run time machine before I made the upgrade as I did not realise the significance of an upgrade as not very Mac literate. Any advice on whether my system is in danger... most appreciated! I am writing a book and making a back up but this machine is my lifeline and my work is conducted through it. It ran perfectly before... the Yosemite upgrade has perhaps highlighted some problems and it has unnerved me!
Thanks ever so much for your advice!
Lillibet

When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

How to change value of instance variable and local variable at run time?

As we can change value at run time using debug mode of Eclipse. I want to do this by using a standalone prgram from where I can change the value of a variable at runtime.
Suppose I have a class, say employee like -
class employee {
public String name;
employee(String name){
this.name = name;
public int showSalary(){
int salary = 10000;
return salary;
public String showName()
return name;
i want to change the value of instance variable "name" and local variable "salary" from a stand alone program?
My standalone program will not use employee class; i mean not creating any instance or extending it. This is being used by any other calss in project.
Can someone tell me how to change these value?
Please help
Regards,
Sujeet Sharma

This is the tutorial You should interest in. According to 'name' field of the class, it's value can be change with reflection. I'm not sure if local variable ('salary') can be changed - rather not.

SFC and System Restore errors on Surface Pro 3 running Win 8.1

Yesterday evening, my boss sent me an email complaining about problems mapping network drives (Server 2008r2) and connecting to the office LAN after setting up offline files. He tried troubleshooting to no avail. I suggested SFC.exe and/or a systems

I have a 5 month old iMac running Lion and W7 with the latest version of boot camp . It has been operating flawlessly until I went to reboot into Mac tonight.
